Cunt Classics - now that would be a Spotify playlist for the ages

Homeowners with flagpoles in their gardens. Even more apparent with next week looming. How much is a flagpole to buy and install anyway?

how much is a flagpole to buy

<£100, but £250 will get you an annoyingly tall flagpole, might as well go big. Needs 1m deep 50cm sq block for footing.

Or just enormous festival pole 😎

I remember when The North Face made good quality kit..

See also Rab, I still have a down vest from about 20 years ago.

It’s always the same. Start small - quality and performance is the driver. You are passionate about your product.

Get big and profitable then the accountants take over the numbers and quality slowly erodes.

Tuning into Eurosport having determinedly avoided the Giro all day to find the fucking tennis on when it should be Orla.

Scunnered.

how about people who put up a flagpole and then decide to just use the cheap poly football banner they take with them for a security blanket when they want to smash up some bars overseas instead of an actual flag but are worried people might not know they're english.

seriously, why the fuck is the name of the country on there...

People with Electric Cars that think it's OK to run an extension cable over the pavement, causing a hazard to pedestrians, wheelchair users, parents with push chairs etc..

You think you're saving the planet.

I think you're a cunt.

flagpole

Isn't that a fishing stick?

That is pretty cunty, but I've recently started seeing the cuntier option. People who park fully on the pavement so they can charge their electric car without running an extension cable.

Lids on coffees.

I'm not a fucking toddler, I can carry a cup without spoiling it.

Extra plastic and the coffee tastes shit through a tiny spout hole.

You know you can ask them for "no lid", right?

I'd use a Keep Kup thing but I don't get take-away coffee often enough.

Yes, but you have to get the message to the barrista quick smart. I'll try harder.

Surely the norm should be no lid and you can ask for one if it is hailing outside or you have late stage Parkinson's.

Or are an actual fucking toddler.

Spot on.

Also - the coffee never cools down enough to be drinkable with a lid on.

flagpoles

Generally concur but there is one house in the countryside(ish) I regularly drive past with a proper massive one which has a good selection of flags. Bright yellow acid man always makes me smile.

.... Anyway:

Fucking late checkins. Just booked a cheapo place to crash for a mate wedding.

Scrolling through the details after and checking is from 1700-2300.

5 fucking pm! Checkout is at 10am or 11am what the fuck are they doing, redecorating?!?

Get an espresso and drink it on site.

^this. I have never understood people who buy a coffee, walk around with it for half an hour, then drink it when it’s lost its flavour and gone cold.

Coffee, like pizza, should be consumed immediately after production.

^ coffee thread >>>>

There's a flavour change as coffee cools, not necessarily for the worst. I enjoy resting my brews and drinking them cooler.

in Italy they only charge you €1 if you don't sit down.
Never been so caffeinated as I was when I went to Rome with my FiL. He couldn't pass espresso machine without having one

They would put a lid on it.

If your coffees too scalding hot to drink then you should stop going to Costa!

Stayed at a place near York a for a few days. We were leaving for Cornwall so asked if they would serve breakfast at 8:00 so we could make an earlier start. It was only 30 mins before there normal start which, to be fair, is the latest breakfast start I’ve ever heard of. Well, the genial host who had been the life and soul of the place looked like I’d just insulted his mother when I asked and in the morning was nowhere to be seen.
I’m so tempted to give a glowing review online and finish with ‘were very happy to serve early meals when we asked - nothing was too much trouble.’
